Kasteel

Overview Turning into the driveway of this property, there is an immediate sense of peacefulness. Our eyes are drawn to the classical line of hundred-year old trees, as we catch a tantalizing glimpse of the medieval tower and its adjacent »chartreuse » or manor house; two fine buildings from very different periods of time sit side by side. It is clear from the outset, there is a treat in store for visitors to this magnificent and enchanting estate. It would be lovely to be able to take flight, and and circle the tower from above, so as to admire the views from up on high. Here one could fully appreciate the extent of the property, and admire the perfect architectural harmony of the tower and the 18th Century « Chartreuse » with its adjacent outbuildings. Around the property, the Gascon countryside spreads its patchwork of green and gold; with corn and wheat and sunflowers in the summer. For a hundred years the cedar trees have sought to reach the top of the tower - their upper branching reaching it, almost, but not quite …in this most peaceful of settings.
